Within the past few weeks charters have been sent out from the state headquarters of the Legion here to newly organized posts at Villa Grove, Allendale, Windsor, Atkinson and Mllford. A charter has also been granted to a negro post at Decatur. Last year the number of negro posts in the state was rather small, but the list has now grown to considerable size.

The proposition is to stop the sale or consumption of IIiquors in this state. - Beer and light j wines are included. I Specific prohibition is made against physicians' prescriptions for be£rs or win s in any quantity. The Illinois prohibitory act conforms with the fedact as it would stand if the present YTolstead law were amended to in- Hii'ia the prevailing dry demands at Washington. The Illinois drys are putting i*to the state statues the prohibitions that they desire in the amended Volstead law. tie appropriation bill to be offered carrying perhaps $250,000, will pie responsibility for enforcement |eHh<»r on a commissioner appointed by Governor Small or on Attorney General Brundage. This question of authority will be the basis of a fight between the Small and Bhindage forces. Senator Back, after a fight brought 1 >y Senator Kessinger, secured the pns^age of his bills that would pro- « ninth and tenth-grade education ' ommunity high school districts as present constituted and would levy a tax for the education of farther advanced pupils In regular , four-year high schools. The senate committee on appropriations reported out without recommendation the $40,000,000 bill for the conduct of the common schools of the state. The original bill came out, as It was asked for by the State Teachers' association, meaning a state appropriation of $20,000,000 each year I for the coming biennium. Opponents of the Lantz bills whicty are aimed at the dissolution of the Chicago board of trade placed a legislative stumbling block in the way of their advancement. Six senators placed In the journal a protest on the course thus far taken In consideration of the Lantz bills. The objecting senators are headed by Senator Clark. The protest argues that the Lantz bills never have appeared on the senate's first reading calendar, and that for this reason they are worthless, legally or technically, even though they pass both houses and secure the approval of Governor Small. Evidence Increases that the city hall in Chicago and the state administration folks downstate do not desire to have Governor Small go up against the problem of the approval or the veto of the anti-board of trade bills. The only legislative action of record before the lawmakers adjourned for the week was to have postponed consideration of the protest. Introduction of the memorial resolution by Senator John Denvir of Chi cago, asking that the state of Illinois be divided into two separate states, recalls the untiring and successful efforts of Nathaniel Pope in congress to have part of this same northern II linols territory made to include territorial Illinois which was admitted into the Union as a state in 1818. Nathaniel Pope was the first territorial secretary of Illinois delegated to congress. It had been planned originally to make the northern boundary of the state at the southern bend of Ldke Michigan, but mainly through the efforts of Pope, an act was passed authorizing the formation of a state government and fixing the boundary at 42 degrees 30 minutes north. This moved the boundary northward adding the counties of Cook, Kane, Dupage, Boone, DeKalb, Lake, McHenry, Ogle, Winnebago, Stephenson, Jo Daviess, Carroll, Lee and Whiteside and also part of the northern portion of the counties of Will, Bock Island. Kendall and La Salle. Senator Denvlr's resolution asks that congress put Into effect the necessary legislation to divide the s'ate into two separate states to be known as Northern and Southern Illinois. In northern Illinois would be the counties of Cook, Kane, Dupage, Boone, DeKalb, McHenry and Will. All of this territory, excepting a part of Will county, was part of that strip of 8,500 square miles for which Nathaniel Pope fought to have Included in the state as It was admitted Into the Union. Has Five of Wealthiest Counties. Illinois possesses four of the flvs richest counties In the United States, from the standpoint of value of farm property, according to recent census figures given out in Washington. The ranking country Is Los Angeles county. Cal., with a valuation of $996,915,- 164. Following it are Mcl^ean county, Illinois, with $267,332,051; Champaign county with, $238,673,411; Livingston county with $290,814,178, and La Salfe county with $2iar,717,738. McLean county brings Illinois in seventh with a crop valuation of $26,887,618. Law to Curb Big Combinations.

Governor Small Issued a Memorial day proclamation calling on the people of the state to lay aside their parsuit of amusement on thai «day and unite in doing honor to the patriot dead. "As the years go by it has seemed that many of our people have lost sight of the original purpose and significance of the day and that sports have taken the place in a large measure of the duty and reverence we owe otar noble dead," the proclamation said. "In the midst of our pleasures let us not forget the purpose to which Memorial day has been dedicated. Let us show all respect and devotion to the memory of those who made the supreme sacrifice for as. We owe this to those who died that the nation might live; we owe It to the gallant men who died that the oppressed might be free; we owe it to our brave sons who gave their lives for democracy and the right, and not the least do we owe it to those who, in the great world conflict ungrudgingly and unselfishly gave their fathers, brothers and sons to the service of their country.""

Pointing out that the state tax the smallest Item in many of last year's tax bills and defending members of the state legislature against charges made that they were willing to allow the tax rates to reach the sky, Prof. E. L. Bogart, head of the economics department of the University of Illinois has presented statistics to show clearly how small the state tax really Is as compared with other Items. "How many Illinois citizens realize that of the $7, $8 or $10 tax bill they paid for 1920 only 40c of that amount went to state purposes? If we analyze the tax question, we will find that the busden is local and not state. In other words, local obligations, such as county, town, city, road and local Improvements, and the other Items which have no connection with state affairs, absorb by far the greatest proportion of tax money. One downstate city paid a tax* of $7.78 per $1,000 assessed valuation last year. While the total state tax was 40c, the same as elsewhere, the county tax was 50c,. the town tax 11c, the city tax $2.25, the school tax $2.66 2-3, for roads and bridges 66c, for sanitarium 20c and for the sanitary district $1.00. Of the total amount paid, the state tax was. only 5.2 per cent of the tolhl. Delay Health Job "Plums." Downstaters who are fighting tlM administration bill to establish county medical officers throughout the state, won In the house committee on efficiency aqd economy a week's postponement of the hearing on the bill. Administration leaders assert the bill will win in the house as easily as It did In the senate. The bill creates county health officers at salaries equal to those of state's attorneys. It requires that the health officers give their entire time to the work, the state paying salaries and the counties providing offices, equipment and automobiles. Senator Wheeler of Springfield, Introduced the bill In the senate. Some of the downstate members protested at the attempt, which they charged was being used to force It through the committee without giving tlve opposition time to be heard on It. Dr. John Dill Robertson, head of the Chicago health department, headed the move to get the bill voted out favorably, asserting It was a move to conserve the lives and health of downstaters In the same manner In which the work Is carried on In Chicago. Dr. Isaac Rawlings, director of the state department of public health, also urged favorable action. Mrs. Dora C. Little of Chicago, secretary of the American' League for Medical Freedom, opposed the bill, charging that it would build np in the state an autocratic medical bureau the same as in Chicago. She also expressed her opinion of the Chicago health department and Doctor Robertson. who. she said, "made laws unto himself." Downstate supervisors and county clerks' associations are opposed to the bill because It adds more activities for each county to support, whereas it is almost impossible now for the counties to get enough money to function. They asked for a continuance of a week to be heard. Ruling Affects Many Schools. Continued existence of many of the 300 community high schools in Illinois and of the even greater number of consolidated schools has been put in jeopardy by the rifling of the supreme court that all elections in these districts should have been held in strict accordance with the Australian ballot act. To obviate necessity of closing Schools directly affected, attorneys will ask a rehearing. It is expected the legislature will adopt legislation making valid the organisation of all doubtful 'school districts. No 8eparate Ballots for Women. Governor Small signed Senator Bush's bill that abolishes all distinctions between men and women voters, it carried an emergency clause and is to be effective for the first time at the June^judicial elections. The bill requires that there be no separate ballots for men and women and all ballots go Into the same ballot boxes. The intention is fully to enfranchise women under the Illinois laws for all election purposes and to place the Illinois election laws in sympathy with itfc* CSOStitUtfcMMi JUMOdvp*.

"If we now want to discover man's oldest ancestor we must go to eoanthropus and not to pithecanthropus, for the former has all the characters which promen should possess, characters which were common to the first man and to the first anthropoid apes as exemplified in the cranial characters of the young of both species to* day. "For, according to that great biogenetic principle, more commonly known as Baer's law, we see why the skulls of the young of the Neanderthal race and the young of the anthropoids or humanlike apes, are so different from those of their parents. The principle expressed by this law signifies that the ontogeny of the individual recapitulates the phllogeny of the race-- and this Is where the law throws light upon the problems under consideration-- that the young of any species represent more truly and closely than do the adult members of the species the actual ancestral type from which they spring." A large collection of photographs will be used by Dr. Hill-Tout In illustrating his theories. THEORY BASED OM 'DAWM MAH' Hitherto Evidence Has Been Looking That Man Waa Not Descended Prom One Line--More Than (rt. One 8peclmen Produced. baa Angeles, CaL--Dr. Charles Binrout, Ph. D., of the executive committee of the American Institute of Research, member of the Archeological Institute, fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and of the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain, la preparing a report to be submitted to the Royal Society of Canada containing what be asserts is evidence that man Is polygenetic Instead of monogenetic In origin, as evolutionists have long thought. Dr. Hill-Tottt says he discovered his proof in a survey of the skulls of apes and anthropoids. He contends that his report will show that nature, when man was in the making, turned out more than one specimen, as science always claimed, in the case of the anthropoids. Hitherto evidence has been lacking that man was not descended from one line. , Dr. Hill-Tout believes theN discovery eliminates completely two links In the chain of the pedigree of man, who, developing along opposite lines, has pe» petuated his ancestral characters and attained a brain expansion which has given him the sovereignty over all other forms of life. Theory Based on "Dawn of Man." "This theoretical conception of aomoslmllus precursion, the ancestor common to man and the apes, Is shown to be founded in fact by the discovery of the most Interesting of all our fossil human remains, eoanthropus, or the "dawn man." Dr. Hill-Tout says: "This ancient man roamed over the southern downs of England when the British isles were a part of the mainland of Europe, at the close of the Pliocene period. It probably antedates by some thousands of years pithecanthropus erectus. Unlike the latter, eoanthropus Is relatively higher developed In Its cranial characteristics. "Its cranial capacity Is greater than that of many'of the men of the backward races of today. Most ef Its cranial characters afe remarkably modern in type, having much the same contour as that of the young anthropoids. That It is a primitive type we learn, for while It possesses a well developed head, it also has the chlnless jaw add the canine teeth of the anthropoids. "Indeed, It differs from the young anthropoids only In Its larger cranial capacity. It Is clear from the evidence, both of the humanlike characters of the 'dawn man' and the young anthropoids, that the low-browed pithecoid was not a primitive man. In other words, he followed anthropoid development rather than the human, and so lost his chance with, .tfefr (human race. t Changee Theory. *' "The discovery of man wTfti modern aranlal characters, living thousands of years earlier than the Nean- BUT ONE HAREM LEFT Frenchman Now Has Only One fteapoing in Constantinople. Disaster Which Carried Down Turkish Empire Has Left Its Mark and There Is Little Gayety. Constantinople.--There Is only one harem left In Constantinople and that Is owned by a Frenchman. A French correspondent, who spent several weeks here, thought that his visit would not be complete until he had visited a harem. He asked one of his Turkish friends to arrange it "But there is only one harem left," replied the Turk. "It Is maintained with very strict discipline and according to the best traditions. But perhaps you would have a eliance to seeing It, for this last harem belongs to one of your compatriots, the Baron Durdeau Bey. The lfist real Turk ia a Frenchman." The women of Constantinople have been emancipated, It Is true, but In the streets they wear what appears almost like a uniform. The cut of all the street costumes is almost the same, the only difference being in the colors. Many women who still have some respect for the old costqmes wear m«ii veils to hide their faces. In the mosques and even in the street cars and railway trains special compartments with curtains are reserved for them, presenting a curious mixture of modern and ancient custom. In spite of the many foreigners arriving here since the war, Constantinople cannot be called a gay city. The disaster which carried down the Turkish empire has left Its mark, and not even the appearance of thousands of strangers, many of'them bent on a "big time," can sweep this away. A few movie shows, two or three theaters and the Russian restaurants form the city's night life. An American pays about $7 to $8 a day for a room in a good hotel. A haircut, with tonic, costs 75 cents, and a bottle of beer 65 cen|s. An automobile may be hired for $5 an hour, bat all these prices fall to take Into consideration tips, which are abnormally high. Like New Tork, Chicago, Paris and many of the other large cities of the world Constantinople is now suffering from a "crime wave." Before the war, say the Turks, they could leave their doors open at night without serious risk. Now shootings and robberies occur every night NO JAZZ FOR HARDING President Does Net Care for Modern Syncopators.

Washington.--The "shimmy" mnslc produced by the modern jaz$ bands, with their walling saxophones, acrobatic drummers and muted cornets, piny have taken the country by storm, but It has no appeal to a man here In Washington whose opinions on many subjects are earnestly listened to by 105.000.000 people. * Bis opinion on the question of music Is worthy of consideration, for he used to play in a band out In New Caledonia. Ohio. He Is the President of the United States. Not (or him are the braying trombone, ^"hlnt cymbal and all the other jazz equipment to which America today ts toddling around In Innumerable dance lialls. Rather the graceful strains of the "Blue Danube," or the "Merry Widow Waltz." Investigation disclosed that President Harding has never been able to regulate his musical sense with the syncopation of modern jazz. He likes good, light music. His favorite operas are "Erminle," "Robin Hood," "The Bohemian Girl," and others of the type that were so popular a decade ago. He also likes his musical dish flavored now and then with a little of the heavier stuff such as. "Alda," or "Madame Butterfly." But Jazs? No. Tacks ~Tn Bed; Ailts"Divorce.

Poles Move Roumania Grain NsW Republic's Food Supply ,Suffered Last Year From Bolshevik Offensive. Warsaw;--Trains made up entirely of Polish rolling stock and manned by Polish crews began making regular trips Into Roumania recently to bring grain to the new republic, which suffered terribly In crop losses last year owing to the Bolshevik offensive. Roumania was unable to deliver grain to Poland because of lack of usable rolling stock. This grain Is milled into flour for the population of Galicia. Northern Poland, including Warsaw, receives its supply of flour chiefly from America. Two trains a day, transporting about 25,000 tons of grain a mOnth, are now making regular trips from central Roumania. Experts have reported excellent prospects for Poland's crops next har- Tsst and It Is expected that with a summer of peace the country will r^Jse enough grain to supply ail needs.
